Weekly Viewing Log 6

In case you were wondering what we have been doing all week, here is a list of the films we have watched since last time.

The Cinesthete:

  1. Dumb and Dumber – LCD forced me to watch this masterpiece, so I will be doing a CinemaSodomy review shortly.
  2. Poseidon Adventure – Campy fun with Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine. I love it.
  3. Funny People – Judd Apatow’s best film? I think so. It’s more drama than comedy this time, but very funny.

The Lowest Common Denominator:

  1. Dumb and Dumber – genius in its idiocy, cinematic brilliance from the Farrelly brothers.
  2. 300 – A masterpiece of a film, it bleeds masculinity and awesomeness.  That must be why TC doesn’t like it very much.
  3. Gladiator - Part 2 of my ancient Greece/Rome double header.  An epic film in which  Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe pwn3d cinema and Joaquin Phoenix, respectively.
  4. The Shawshank Redemption – I watch Shawshank and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in spurts where it seems like I can’t stop watching them for weeks.  I do this fairly often.  Get used to it.
  5. Step Brothers – Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly team up with Adam McKay to deliver another comedy.  The formula and results are consistent: low-brow entertainment in spades with a complete and utter disregard for artsy fartsy themes and cool camera work.  Just the way I like it!
